YP Simplified Series presents: Rigless – a misnomer? Applications to Late Well Lifecycles by Steven Canny, Weatherford.

Registration and networking from 6.00 pm, with the event starting at 6.45 pm

Abstract:

With the current new “normal” of $50-$60 oil prices, focus has moved from well construction to late life well planning and mature basin management, to exploit infill drilling and postpone cessation of production. One industry segment that has become more visible is “Rigless” technology, applying to light intervention through to heavy well deconstruction and a plethora of others between. What is “Rigless”? Moreover, what are the applications relevant to a mature basin in a cost constrained environment?

Through the presentation, “Rigless” technologies and their segmentation are discussed and categorised, with focus on the design and certification of each, and the requirement variance in sectors within the North Sea.

Case studies are also presented in well construction and deconstruction applications of Rigless technologies from global markets, to highlight the potential applications and an alternative perspective to the potential applications and benefits.
